BINOMDIST

Calculates the probability of drawing a certain number of successes (or a maximum number of successes) in a certain number of tries given a population of a certain size containing a certain number of successes, with replacement of draws.

Sample Usage

BINOMDIST(4,100,0.005,FALSE)

BINOMDIST(A2,A3,A4,TRUE)

Syntax

BINOMDIST(num_successes, num_trials, prob_success, cumulative)

num_successes - The number of successes for which to calculate the probability in num_trials trials.

If cumulative is TRUE then BINOMDIST returns the probability of num_successes or fewer successes, otherwise the probability of exactly num_successes successes.

Notes

HYPGEOMDIST describes the probability of drawing a certain number of successes in a certain number of tries given a population of a certain size containing a certain number of successes, without replacement of draws.
